Paris is here….and 73% of ParalympicsGB are SportsAid alumni!

SportsAid is proud to announce that 73% of the athletes selected to represent ParalympicsGB at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games have received financial support and recognition from the charity during their careers!

That's 157 of the 215 members (including competition partners, guides and pilots) of ParalympicsGB who were provided with SportsAid awards. This follows on from 73% in Tokyo (165 of 227), 68% in Rio (180 of 264) and 70% in London (202 of 288).

26 of ParalympicsGB's 41 gold medals in Tokyo were won by athletes previously helped by SportsAid - plus 33 silvers and 35 bronzes....that’s 94 out of 124 medals from the total haul. The 94 podium finishes claimed by beneficiaries of the charity's support came across 17 different sports.

SportsAid has published a Guide To The Games full of interesting facts and stats about the charity's alumni competing in Paris across the Olympics and Paralympics. Also, please keep your eyes on our Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn pages for updates throughout the Games! 

Here's the full list of 157 athletes in ParalympicsGB who have received SportsAid's support....
